  1. Cleaning out my garage... by tgd · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Cleaning out my garage a week or two ago I was going through an old box and ended up tossing a set of Slackware A floppies... That was such a refreshing change from downloading a boot disk and bootstrapping a system starting with compiling GCC.

    I know its only peripherally related to the article, but man. V12 of Slackware? Time has flown, and things sure have changed.
